We did recently apply SP3 (very recently) and I actually hadn't made the connection. In our situation, we don't have a Default user directory, everyone has their own unique login. Also, we have roaming profiles disabled (which is retained for legacy purposes, i.e., certain members of our staff would have a cow if they lost their bookmarks/backgrounds ;-) so the profiles are stored on the client machines. If you do have a highly modified NTUSER.dat file, then you may need to have it be recreated... I dont know. Was this an NTUSER.dat file that was modified by hand? (Not like I can help you further one way or the other, it's just that I've always been far too squeemish to look much in, let alone mess with, these files, so I'm curious.) -- Sam Hart University/Work addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> end -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Hi, Reading your email, are u implying that the default user settings are updated in the SP3. If this is the case if you have a Default User directory under the netlogin share does this mean it will have to updated. If this is the case then our highly modified NTUSER.dat will need to be updated from SP3 then all the mods will need to be reapplied. Is this the case???

[Samba] explorer.exe crashing at login
We're running a network of Windows 2000 SP3 machines with Samba 2.2.7 as the PDC and roaming profile store. Certain users logging onto certain machines will see an error dialogue pop-up saying explorer.exe has generated errors and will exit. This keeps popping up and to only course of action is to ctrl-alt-del and logout. For most people, everything works fine. I've been able to clear it up temporarily my moving the profile directory out of the way on the server, but the problem can re-occur. smb.conf: [global] username map = /etc/samba/smbusers ; nt acl support = no ;Run as a PDC domain logons = yes security = user os level = 99 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes logon script = %U.bat logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U wins support = yes domain admin group = @wheel share modes = no [netlogon] comment = Net logon scripts path = /var/netlogon create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 writable = no guest ok = no browsable = no This seems to have started after I made some changes to our samba server, and may have lost certain machine trust information, but I'm not sure.
